Roof Replacement in Great Falls, Paterson: what actually fails

Inside the Great Falls historic district, a replacement goes past the Historic Preservation Commission before the permit issues. On brick buildings the flashing is cut into the mortar joints rather than glued to the face, and both are written into the quote before a date is set.

The 19th-century mill district around the 77-foot falls of the Passaic River, listed on the National Register in 1970 and a National Historic Landmark from 1976, now the heart of the national historical park.

Note 01Is a 10 year old roof considered old?

No. Asphalt shingles are generally rated at 15 to 30 years, so a ten-year-old roof with a leak almost always needs a repair, often at a flashing, a boot or the tie-in, rather than a replacement.

Note 02What is the cheapest option for a new roof?

Asphalt shingle on the pitched roof, at about $1 to $4 a square foot nationally for the material, against $4 to $30 for metal. The cheapest whole job is the one that does not have to come back: sound decking, new flashing and a properly built tie-in.

Note 03How often should a roof be replaced?

When it stops being repairable, not on a calendar. Asphalt shingles are generally rated at 15 to 30 years and metal at 40 to 70. A flat rear roof and a pitched main roof on the same house often wear out at different times, and they can be replaced separately.
